I'll be keeping an eye on this for sure, especially since all three properties represented so far are ones that I've thoroughly enjoyed on my 3DS.
@sillygostly They totally should port DoA5: Final Round to Switch! They could even pull a TTT2 and give each character a new Nintendo-themed costume. (I wanna play as Kasumi wearing a Princess Peach bikini, darnit!)
I actually live a short drive away from the Mall Of America, so I may end up going to this event. (and I'd probably pick up that water bottle, just for the hell of it)
I will concede that Josh can come off as an a-hole a lot of the time, but he is nevertheless absolutely correct on issues like Islam being a barbaric cult and Trump's tax returns being irrelevant to his presidency. I myself would much rather listen to an a-hole who speaks the truth than to a polite liar, but unfortunately it seems to be vice-versa for a lot of other people.
@Brubbles The only one I take issue with is that first tweet about Chinese people, the rest of those are completely legitimate statements that only a brainwashed liberal would see as "racist".
Ugh, EA; the cancer of gaming, who by some cosmic fluke have been granted the power to dictate whether or not a platform will have healthy third-party support throughout its lifespan.
It'll most likely be a Monster Hunter game, which would be my jumping-on point for the franchise, since I'll no longer have to choose between portability and having enough buttons. (didn't want to upgrade to a >New< Nintendo 3DS just for one series)
Garbage game! My brother bought it on my Switch; we spent hours wrestling with cumbersome controls and sporadic difficulty spikes, and neither of us could get past the first post-tutorial area after trying every strategy we could think of. A perfect example of the WRONG way to make a game challenging. I deleted that crap off of my system the very next day.
"We're keeping our eyes peeled for Pokémon Sun fans launching a petition, it'll happen any moment now..."
Honestly, knowing how modern society functions, it wouldn't surprise me if they boycotted the Kids' Choice Awards, accused Nickelodeon of being "heliophobic moon-supremacist fascists", used hashtags like # NotMyKidsChoiceAwards, started violent "protests" in front of Nickelodeon headquarters, blocked roads, and assaulted people who play Moon instead of Sun.
This and BOXBOY! are two of my favorite eShop games! I hope that Nintendo's developers continue to put out these kind of small, experimental games every now and then.
@mikegamer The way in which you asked came off as you being overly negative for no good reason. Most people probably assumed you were trolling. A simple "Does this game support multiplayer?" would've sufficed.
Oh, by the way, MP2 DOES support multiplayer. It's a multiplayer-focused game. Everyone and their mom has known this fact for a decade and a half.

@yomanation
I have not played this game for myself yet, and I'm not really defending it in particular; just pointing out the kind of bias which often goes on in the reviews on this site.
Well, I think we all know by now how it goes here on NintendoLife:
If a game is published by Nintendo, give it a glowing review whether it deserves it or not*; but if it's a minor indie project, feel free to be unfairly harsh and inaccurate about it. (which is of course not to say that there aren't games like The Letter or anything that RCMADIAX craps out which truly deserve the negative reviews that they've gotten)
*EDIT: OK, to be fair, I did discover at least one exception to this rule, which is NL's 5/10 review of Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival; although I don't think ANYONE (besides Xenocity) thinks that THAT game is good
This just goes to show you how poorly designed the battle system is to begin with. (not to mention the game in general) If Nintendo plans to continue this series, they need to stop obsessing over paper-themed gimmicks and go back to what made the games truly great in the first place. #MakePaperMarioGreatAgain
@ZeldaFan5991 What's wrong with "mom"?
Oh, well; at least we can agree on the superiority of "jail". (Seriously, anyone who spells it as "gaol" deserves to be sent there themselves for their crime against written language)
I've thoroughly enjoyed Fairune, so I'll definitely make it a point to check out this new sequel!
(speaking of sequels to Flyhigh Works games, I need to get back to playing The Legend Of Dark Witch 2 and Witch & Hero II soon)
So, basically, they took the polished turd that is Sticker Star and tried polishing it even more, but did nothing about the fact that it's still a turd to begin with? Yeah, I'm not buying this.
